i hate to be the one to break it to you but how can this girl really love you as it seems she barely knows you. if she does love you she is loving what you let her know about you - not the real you. that is not to say that she won't love you if you tell her the truth! lots of people have mental health problems - mental health is a spectrum from good to bad - we're all on that spectrum somewhere. I can't say whether you should ask this girl to marry you or not, but it does sound like you have some problems you should sort out first. I think your low self esteem is a major issue for your depression and disorganized thought processes. it's a difficult circle to release yourself from - you're depressed and have no self esteem which prevents you from having the motivation or confidence to achieve normal everyday goals, but you won't achieve confidence and self esteem until you do achieve everyday goals. there are no easy answers but try and listen when I tell you that many people of your age don't own their own house and still live with parents - you are actually showing how independent you are that you can survive on your own in your dark one bed flat! living alone is depressing for anyone so don't beat yourself up for having normal feelings. it is probably made worse because you don't work - so you're at home on your own quite a bit. I think you're relying on this girl to 'save' you from your situation but please don't rely on her - you're happiness must come from within. please don't get bogged down with the stigma of mental illness - many people with poor mental health lead happy and valuable lives and contribute to others' happiness too.

I think you need to sort your life out, get a job etc before you think of marriage. It will tip you over the edge!

Would it be wrong to propose to a girl from canada i love that ive known for over 18 months?

dude you should never marry someone or even think of marrying someone until they know everything about you. marriage is suppose to be forever and shouldnt begin with deception. i suggest you also meet and spend a great deal of time with her before deciding to marry her.

I think that you should figure out your struggles first, and get yourself straight before you bring someone else into your life. It's for her benefit. you have like at least 5 years. You can do it!

Would it be wrong to propose to a girl from canada i love that ive known for over 18 months?

To be fair to her and to yourself you have to put aside the idea that marriage will solve your problems...it won't!

I know this is easy for me to say, but you have to sit down and work out how you are going to get your life back on track. Then when you have actually started the process, you must be completely honest with her about what is going on in your life...you cannot love someone if you are keeping the truth from her. Remember...loving includes the terrible risk of losing...that's what makes it so worthwhile.

You have reminded me of something a comedian said about himself when he was younger...he said, 'I was not so much depressed...as paralysed by hope!'

Makes a kind of sense to me! Good luck.

I don't know whether she will accept you as you are .Think deeply before you come to such decision because it will cause more frustration if she changes her mind .Just tell her about every thing and find out if she will like to tie the knot with you irregardless of mental history .Good luck .May be she has been waiting for so long for someone like you.

u should defenatley straighten out your life first. also its not fair to the girl if u don't tell her any of those problems before she marries you. and you're not trapped. anyone can do anything they want. if u don like ur job maybe go back to school and start fre sh.

Well, when you say you 'know' her, what do you mean by that? Have you met her in person, dated her? Or you 'know' her from the internet, in that case you don't 'know' her! Anyway, for a start you need to love yourself before you can start loving someone else. There is nothing wrong with being single at 30, you are still very young and your whole life ahead of you! You should go out of your room, get a job and make friends. Unfortunately these things won't come to you, you have to go out and grab opportunities. In the meantime, i hope that the psychiatrist can help you build on your self confidence. I wish you all the best X

Would it be wrong to propose to a girl from canada i love that ive known for over 18 months?

If you have to ask, then yes it would be wrong!

If you love her and she loves you and you both understand each others shortcomings and each others faults and can live with it, you would be wrong not to ask.

I didn't even have a job when I asked my wife to marry me, Lucky me!

Git-er-done!

If your psychiatrist says, "Yes, this is something you should pursue" then you need to find a new psychiatrist...

Seriously, you can't be serious. You may have a lot of things to work on, and well all do, but trying to marry someone you hardly know will not make your life any better. If you're not happy now, life after a wedding day isn't going to be any happier.

...I am slightly similar to you in that my Childhood upbringing left me with low self-esteem, and I didn't meet anyone special until I was 32 - but when she came along, she was beautiful in every way, a real Upper-Class English Rose.

I grabbed her quickly and didn't let go!

We were engaged after 6 weeks and married within 5 months!

She was on the rebound from her Parents, who were ultra-Religious.

I represented another side of Life to her, and showed her a good time.

She fell for me Hook, Line and Sinker!!

Then, after a year of bliss, she had an horrendous Miscarriage and, soon after, she ran off to join Jehovah Witnesses!

I didn't know where she was for 6 months, then she casually told me that our marriage wasn't meant to be!

It tore me apart - and I still haven't recovered 20 years later!!

So, what I'm saying is, be careful! Maybe try to find out a bit more about her - but, there again, if you need her Love, grab it while you can - it may change your whole Life?!?

The Choice is yours!

Even if your Happiness doesn't last, at least you'll have it to remember in later years!!

marriage wount change a thing about how you are feeling at this moment. think of it: you will be the same she will be the same.

No, you shouldnt but you should make that your goal. maby it will give you enough strengh to get over some of the issues you've mentioned

Would it be wrong to propose to a girl from canada i love that ive known for over 18 months?

well it's quite obvious you have it bad for this girl and good luck to you, love is the greatest thing on this planet and believe me, with the love of a good woman, you can acomplish anything. i had problems myself and i found a great girl (I'm still with her now) and her love helped me overcome everything, before i met her i was unemployed, broke living in a hostel, and now i have a job a home and a dog and we are trying for a baby, what i'm trying to say is be honest with her, tell her everything, but also tell her that with her you think you have the strength to beat this, do not give into your rage (that's quite rich coming from me because i have it too but i wake up and i tell myself that i will beat anything that life throws at me with a cool head.) believe me when you put your mind to it you CAN accomplish anything. good luck.

Do think it would be fair to have to share your troubles with someone of such a young age? You should sort out your head first, I know it seems like the answer to all your needs is to have a lover who will protect you from your demons, but youve got to think about how young and mentally immature this girl is, she doesn't know you are getting lots of medical help and you have inner rage that you could lash out on her. You could end up hurting her! You really need to look up and think clearly about brigtening up you life, getting out and getting independant and socialising. People are not as they seem in real life as they are on the net.

Start by brightening your flat. Even get yourself a job helping other people, you need that satisfaction in your life, you need to feel more than youre worth just now. Think of yourself first before this girl who youve never met. you don't want to disappoint her if she ever comes over and finds out the real you and then never contacts you again.

Her blogs are just her thoughts and fanatasies. Millions of people have them. Millions of people have places theyd like to move to. Everyone has fantasies, I've learned you should never carry them out as you'll only get disappointed. If you want to be everything in this girls life one day, please sort yourself out, tell her everything, and if she never talks to you again then you move on and realise she is not for you. If she does want to stay in contact, then great! But tell her you want to sort yourself first before you both make any plans of meeting or even her moving thousands of miles away from her home, family and friends! You need to show her you are interesting and have a life, go out to a hobbie club, get a job even if its just a volutary work, it still gets you out there and builds you confidence. Don't do this just for the girl, do it for YOURSELF!

Good luck!

You need to stop, look, listen, freeze! This is the first thing they teach you in kindergarden. Now, I do understand that you are 29 yrs old.

But, you need to start some where, and sometime. Why not now?!

Ok, we got over the first step, because your still reading this. Now the next step is: You need to find happiness within you. Know that, no one person can make you happy only you can make you happy.

Your using this girl like a badage. Your hurt inside and she is the bandage to make the hurt all better, when in reality, you are just covering up the hurt.

You need to heel your hurt and pain, not cover it with a badage. You are right, you need to get out of your place that is keeping you unhappy.

Maybe by joining other groups of people and helping in your local church or like groups, you can meet other people then, through them perhaps you can find a new room mate to live with.

Or, join the armed forces. Then you can leave your place, have a roof over your head, be fed, learn new things, travel and get paid. And you can save the money to start your dream life. And if your 20 yr old friend who may be 24 when you are done with your term, is still available then you can be proud of yourself, and can provide her with a home and a man that you both can be proud of, "YOU!" And, if she's not, then you will meet someone who you are meant to spend your dream life with. You and only you have the power to take control of your life, and make it your dream come true!

Start by getting your life in order, your mental state of mind solid, and putting a plan together and putting it into action. Write this all down, and have a daily things to do list, to get your plan rolling, and you do these things. Don't ever stop dreaming. Dreaming is what takes us to where we want to be! It creates our future!

Life is always a do over. If you don't like the way it's going then re-write it! Choose the charactors who will be in your life script and decide who will not. When ever your life feels stuck, just remember that life is as simple as you want it to be, or as difficult as you want to make it. YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE!

Good luck, may the angels bless you!

In reality Canada would be a wrong move - only at the moment.

You are having NHS treatment here and to live in Canda the

costs for healthcare would be high. You need to get your

personal problems sorted out before you make any decisions on what to do. Never say never, you have much to look forward to.

By going away don,t you think you are running away from a

situation? Why don,t you ask this girl to visit England? Go

to adult classes, don,t worry about what you should be doing

now. Live each day as it comes and accept help that is being

offered to you. Could you possibly live with your parents for a

while? When you say you are waiting for a second opinion

from the psychiatrist does this mean you are waiting for a

name for your illness? If so, you will feel better knowing the

reason for feeling the way that you do. My lovely close friend

has bi-polar (manic depression) and she is such an inspiration

to us all. She herself went out to Canada last year (her parents

lived there) while there her mom died. So her father who has

Alzheimers disease has come back home with her. She is now

caring for him (24 hour day). A year ago she would not have

thought it possible. As she spends so much time looking after

her father she does not have much time to worry about herself.

(I don,t know if this is a good or bad thing).

You and your friend do have a close relationship so just tell

yourself that you WILL get better. Your life is in your hands.

Be practical. This girl needs to know of your problems because

she is a lot younger than you. Would she be able to cope? Don,t

be afraid of telling her. Many people have problems like yours

and do get pulled out of that dark tunnel. I wish you all the best

in the world. I,m sure one day you will make a lovely husband

and dad. You have plenty of time....

go for it...a year from now, or ten years from now...do you want to look back and remember her as the one you let get away? ...Nothing ventured nothing gained..you are an honest person..with selfdoubt..you need to go visit her, and she needs to see you in person..and you need to hook up and take your chances, you only go around once in this life...God bless, and I pray for the best for you
